I want to rename the files in my catalog adding the date to the filename.
Therefore I choose operations-rename-file and then take the date from the file and add some "-","." and ":".
Everything works, except the ":" which is shown correctly in the preview.

You should never use colons in file names on macOS.
While the Unix layer allows colons in a file name, the Mac layer doesn't.
In Finder, if you try to rename a file with a colon then Finder gives an error:

And if you use TextEdit and try to enter a colon in the file name then it is instantly replaced with a dash. This for the same reason.

Maybe consider using the date part like %FileName-%dd.%mm.%yyyy-%hh%nn.%FileExtension (e.g IMG_3880-27.04.2019-0215.jpg)
